The police had reports on him for indecent exposure all over the city.
He operated mostly at subway stations and many times he would flash an erection at the pious ladies as they left church on the way home.
He was the classical flasher with the ends of his pant legs sewn at the bottom of a Bogart trenchcoat to give the appearance of being in full dress ,only to flash open the coat at the least expected moment.
He got caught at Central station as he was showing himself to all the passengers when the train advanced.
Once they had him under the lights for the interview, the police inspector asked the youth:
---Why do you do that?---
The captured boy said plainly:
----Because I had no money.-----
